He and a ■* partner live in a tent, and are - gaining health and wealth, at a rapid rate, They make 11.75 per day each, and it costs them but little for living expenses. ** The tax rate in Kentland is S 3 ** This is high enough, but look at our neighbors: G >odland is $2 82; Morocco, $2.94; Rensselaer, $2.86; Fowler, SI 28; 805we11,52.84; Earl „ Park 53.23.

There are many places in this state where the last snow storm previous to this one was very much heavier than it was here; and in those places, especially near large streams, they fear a repetition of the recent high water. They say in fact, that if the snow goes off with a big rain the floods will be much worse than they were before.
The zero temperature, early last night makes the 16tb separate time the weather bsc already been below zero, this winter; six times in December and ten times January. It is a record unequaled for many years past. And if Febdrary and Maroh keeps op the pace, it may easily be thirty times oefore the san cresses the line, on March 20th.
February first Fowler will be without a saloon for the first time in her history. There were nine atone time. For the past month there has been out one, and from what we oould learn the proprietor has had no unusual rush of business during the month.

Ith board, says: “You will do wisely to tell all yo.ur people over and over it is- the history of smallpox that it will not leave the community until it searches out and attacks the unvaccinated, and this will happen in your community if it takes ten years. Smallpox is not in a burry and never grows impatient It is willing to wait a long time in order to get bold of those who are so foolish and weak as not to seek protection.”

WEEDS Consumption is a human weed flourishing best in weak lungs. Like other weeds it’s easily destroyed while young; when old, sometimes impossible. Strengthen the lungs as you would weak land and the wteds will disappear. The best lung fertilizer is Scott’s Emulsion. Salt pork is good too, but it is very hard to digest The time to treat consumption is when you begin trying to, hide it from yourself. Others see it, you won’t. Don’t wait until you can’t deceive yourself any longer. Begin with the first thought to take Scott’s Emulsion, li it isn’t, really consumption sc much the better; you will soon forget it and be better for the treatment If it is consumption you can’t expect to be cured at once, but if you will* begin in time and will be rigidly regular in your treatment you will win. Scott’s Emulsion, fresh air, rest all you cat), eat all you can, that’s the treatment and that’s the best treatment. ~- L We will send you a little of the Emul**on f ree * Be tur« that thia plclurv to jSUfla the form ot > label '■ on «h« wrapi«r of every bottle ot you buy.
